Backpack Upgrades are items added by Traveler's Backpack that change what a backpack can do. There are 17 upgrade items in total. Four are tier upgrades (Iron, Gold, Diamond and Netherite), which raise a backpack's storage and slot counts. The other twelve are functional upgrades, which are installed in a backpack's upgrade slots to add crafting, smelting, auto-pickup, item magnetism, feeding, light and similar functions. Every upgrade is crafted from a Blank Upgrade, so the Blank Upgrade is the starting point for the whole family. Upgrades are the main way a player grows a backpack beyond its basic leather form, and tier upgrades are also ingredients for the mob-themed backpacks.
Obtaining
All upgrade items are crafted. Tier upgrades can also be found in several vanilla structure chests.
Crafting
The Blank Upgrade is crafted from String and Leather. Every other upgrade needs one Blank Upgrade as an ingredient. The Iron, Gold and Diamond Tier Upgrades each use eight of a metal ingot or gem with a Blank Upgrade. The Netherite Tier Upgrade is made at a smithing table from a smithing template, a Blank Upgrade and a Netherite Ingot.

Loot and drops
The mod adds tier upgrades to several vanilla chest tables through global loot modifiers. Its default chances, per roll of the table, are as follows.
- Iron Tier Upgrade: Abandoned Mineshaft 5%, Desert Pyramid 5%, Simple Dungeon 5%, Woodland Mansion 6%, Bastion Treasure 7%, Nether Bridge 7%, Shipwreck Treasure 6%.
- Gold Tier Upgrade: Abandoned Mineshaft 4%, Desert Pyramid 4%, Woodland Mansion 5%, Bastion Treasure 6%, Nether Bridge 6%, Shipwreck Treasure 5%, End City Treasure 7%.
- Diamond Tier Upgrade: End City Treasure 6%.
The table below gives the chance per chest for each structure loot table in this pack, which is the figure that matters for a given structure. In Fear Nightfall, the pack's changes also extend Traveler's Backpack loot to the replacement temples, fortresses and strongholds that YUNG's mods generate, so tier upgrades appear there as well.

Usage
A backpack has a fixed number of upgrade slots that depends on its tier. A Leather backpack has 2 upgrade slots, an Iron backpack has 3, a Gold backpack has 4, a Diamond backpack has 5 and a Netherite backpack has 6. Functional upgrades are installed in these slots. Each installed functional upgrade can be disabled in the mod's config. The "Toggle Upgrade in 1st to 4th slot" keybinds, listed under the Traveler's Backpack category, switch the upgrades in the first four upgrade slots on and off.
Tier upgrades
A tier upgrade is applied to a lower-tier backpack at a smithing table, together with Leather. The result is the next backpack tier. Each tier raises the storage, upgrade slots and tool slots of the backpack.
| Tier | Storage slots | Upgrade slots | Tool slots |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leather | 27 | 2 | 2 |
| Iron | 45 | 3 | 3 |
| Gold | 63 | 4 | 4 |
| Diamond | 81 | 5 | 5 |
| Netherite | 99 | 6 | 6 |
A Blank Upgrade, applied to a placed backpack by shift-clicking it, resets the backpack to the Leather tier. Its contents are dropped when this happens.
Functional upgrades
- Tanks: Adds two fluid tanks to the backpack. Each tank row holds 1000 units at every tier. Tanks are used with the Hose, the Backpack Tank and the Hose Nozzle.
- Crafting: Adds a crafting grid to the backpack screen.
- Furnace, Smoker and Blast Furnace: Each adds a smelting station to the backpack screen.
- Pickup: Automatically collects dropped items on the ground into the backpack. Matching items are taken before vanilla pickup runs, so vanilla pickup does not happen for them.
- Magnet: Pulls items within 5 blocks toward the wearer. It checks every 10 ticks and has a 9-slot filter.
- Void: Adds a trash slot. Its 9-slot filter voids items that enter the backpack through Pickup or through a hopper.
- Feeding: Eats food stored in the backpack. It checks every 100 ticks and has a 9-slot filter.
- Refill: Moves the items in its 9-slot filter from the backpack into the player's inventory. It checks every 5 ticks.
- Jukebox: Plays music discs. Its volume follows the Note Block and Jukebox sliders in the game's settings.
- Lantern: Acts as a light source. The light only shows as dynamic lighting when the LambDynamicLights mod is installed.
Mob-equipped backpacks that spawn in the world have a 50% chance of a Tanks upgrade.
Crafting ingredient
Upgrade items are used as ingredients in other backpacks and upgrades. The Blank Upgrade is used in 16 recipes, one for each tier and functional upgrade. The Iron, Gold and Diamond Tier Upgrades, and the Netherite Tier Upgrade, are each used in 44 recipes. The examples include smithing recipes for the mob-themed backpack variants, such as the Villager, Wither, Dragon, Sheep and Pumpkin Traveler's Backpacks, which take Leather and the matching tier upgrade.
